LEARN HOW TO SPOT & SWIM OUT OF THESE POTENTIALLY TREACHEROUS WATERS.
Make your day at Jersey Shore beaches an enjoyable & safe one. But keep in mind when swimming in the ocean, a sinister threat lurks just beneath the waves. In just water waist-deep, a mystery of the ocean can pull a full-grown human out into deeper waters in the blink of an eye.
The nefarious killer isn’t some unknown sea creature of monstrous abilities… but a natural phenomenon most commonly known as a riptide. Riptides form where land or large structures meet the sea and create a fast-moving current of water as the tide begins to recede back into the deep.
Every year, 100 people die in the US alone from riptides – which is correctly called a rip current.
Lifesavers also make more than 30,000 rescues a year in the U.S.
SMARTEST TIP: ONLY SWIM WHEN LIFEGUARDS ARE ON DUTY!!
